I should take a picture of this CGE set. I surfed quite a bit the other day, for information on this set, but to no avail. I don't really expect to have trouble when I go to re-cap it. I haven't taken the chassis out of the cabinet yet, 'cause I have several other projects on the fire. But, I'll bet that, when I get it going, it'll go like the wind.

I've found that many of the Canadian radios, particularly the RCA sets, had far finer cabinets than their USA counterparts. I think that the A-23 is a good example. I have a couple other Canadian RCA sets, whose model numbers escape me just now, and they're far nicer than their US counterpart.

Not to mention that the A-23, A-25, and their derivatives are excellent performers, along with the CGE versions, which had even nicer cabinet designs then the Canadian RCAs, I don't know for sure but I think that the A-23 chassis was a Canadian design. The only true design flaw was in situating the magic eye socket cable in close
proximity to the rectifier tube and the somewhat borderline power transformers in the 60 cycle versions, better then a Zenith but they still can't take much abuse.
